SEPTEMBER 6, 1919 PUBLIC FUND SUGGESTED ' FOR 3 TANNER CHILDREN Letters to Evening Public Ledger See'Flawlcss Devotion of Husband Who Died With Wife Admiration which sees only n hus band's flawless devotion is the note of an increasing number of letters received from readers of tho Eve.mno Punuc Ledqeii In the discussion of the prob lem of love and duty presented in the case of William Tanner, of Hubhards Wood, 111., who died with his wife when he found he could not save her from an approaching train, after her foot had been caught In a railroad frog. Many of the writers thought Tan ner's proof of boundless love and un flinching courage was a greater pos session for the throe Utile ni-idinns left by his act than any material service he couiu nave rendered them had lie shun ned death and lived. Some were eager to contribute to n fund for the Tanner children, in proof of their contention thnr n dlnln f tygh courage does not pass unrewarded in the world, even when the hero dies, ana tnat admirers of tho brave ore ready to do more than applaud the hero who gives up his life. Would Aid Orphans This Idea of doing something gen erous for the children because thrlr father gave proof of love for his wife that was greater than fear of death or L -iut, w,or''"r consideration is voiced by Paul E. Flotrou, of Hnmp ton Court, Philadelphia. Writing to the EvENtso Puiiiio LnDdEB. from the Hotel, Traymore, Atlantic City, he says : "Sir William Tanner's name should lnSV22 ,attUIli'onal synonym represent ing the fullest measure of devotion that a husband may show for his wife . 'IIc ,Jid the only thing a devoted uuouauu Louia o. His supreme sacri fice will always blaze in the minds of men at the great cross roads of life or death, and unmistakably point the way. A fund for his orphans should be raised at once and a fitting monument erected at the crossing of Huhbards Woods In memory of this man who typifies that superb American quality of spontaneous decision for right action in a crisis. "If you will receive funds will be glad to forward a generous check." Aged Man Praises Tanner An aged man, whoso letter shows that he has been married for more than fifty years, writes to the the Even-no Pun Lic Ledger from Clarksboro, N. J., saying that he, too, would die with his wife if called upon to face a situ ation presented when Tanner decided to die. He nsked that his name be with held from puMLjgMon. His letter fol lows : "' "Sir RnpAlftnc nf Tr-hat William rn.- ncr did, and calmly reasoning It out. I mm i wouia uo me same as nc, lor, although It is a horrible death. It would be over In a moment. But my act would not be half as great as his, for I am fifty-two years old, and our only child died when she was fourteen years old. and I have often thnnplit that Ir my wife died first I would not care to live wunoui ner. Ana especially such a death as that." "One of the Best of Men" Praise of Tanner ns "one of the best men? who ever passed from this world" is the burden of a letter from Hnrrl man, Pn., signed "G. Sch., Render.' The writer says; To tht Editor ef Iht Xvmtoa FuWo Ledatr: "Sir Would I do the same? By all means! "Wns William Tanner's great sacrl flee superb? What else could It be? "My opinion is that Tanner wns one of the best men who ever passed from this world. How could any man stand by and see his wife run over by n train, ana live, no matter what was left be hind?

I'm married eleven years. -' "I suggest that Chicago newspapers start n campaign for funds for the three little ones, to see them get a chance In life. I know Chicago to be n sporty city, and, no doubt, people would contribute from all over the country. My wages are small, $22.80 a week, but I should be happy If given a chance to contribute .2 of It." Other letters follow: To th Kditor ot the KvcniHO PubUe Lfdotr: Sir Whether Mr. William Tan ner did the wisest thing in making the awful sacrifice of his life for his strong love for his dear, poor wife, Is really hard for mc to say. If, as his poor, heart-broken mother says, he would have gone inad had he lived, then it seems he did the right thing. On the other hand, it seems so sad to thus make his dear little children orphans nnd to leave his poor, dear mother. Now, the main thought with me, at this moment, is to tell of another Incident, similar to this necident, which happened several years ago, but In this case the young ady wns alone and she, too, caught her foot in n frog of the railroad, and a train wns fast ap proaching, and, when she found she could not get her foot lose, she just reached down and unbuttoned (or un laced, whichever it was) her shoe, and just slipped her foot out. If only this .Mr. or Mrs. Tanner or the faithful watchman, would have thought to have done that their precious lives and the great injury to the poor watchman might have been prevented. I'm hoping the thoughtfulness of the young lady, of whom I have just written, mny be of vital importance to some poor soul who may find him or herself in the same predicament. Mrs. GEORGE W. BAKER. To tho Editor of th Evcntno Public Ledoer: Sir William Tanner's duty was to hip wife and he acted on the Impulse of the moment. I feel sure that' she died with n smile on her face, to know that he was faithful to the last. Soldiers on the battlefield will fool ishly sacrifice their lives to save n dying comrade's body from the. enemy. Many a man and woman, now criticizing Tanner for his act, would perhaps do as he did. Children are the natural outcome of love, but any man would sacrifice a child to save his wife's life. At birth often the child is sacrificed to save the mother. If his life could make her life happy in her last moments it wns worth the sacrifice. The childien will always be proud oi ineir tauicr, knowing that he died to show his love for their mother. J. MILLER, D. D. S. To the Editor of the Evtnlno Public Ltdasr: Sir Since readln? tli letters m.h. lished iu the Evekino Public Ledoeh I believe that man did a hrnr art. Ms heart goes out for him. I doubt very much If there is a man living who would have done likewise. He did right. ' TRUE MAN. To tho Editor of tho Evmlna Public Ledorr: Sir I do not think Mr. Tanner's act was prompted by any other feeling than to lessen the shock for his wife. In a time like that one thinks very quickly nnd, ns a rule, sanely. There was no way to save his wife's life, and no doubt he said and ncted as he did to give her courage for the awful fate she had to meet. It was much the same as when a friend says to one who re ceives a terrible shock, "I'm with you." I do not think Mr. Tanner meant to rid his children of both their parents. At such a critical time I doubt if his mind was equal to another thought than the awful fate that was about to over take his., wife and how to lessen the shock for her. -ATLANTIC CITY PRETTY WEDDING IN GERMANTOWN Miss Elsie Park Bride of Mr. David H.

Dr. W. D. THrhllrd.nn. nf C!hiMMliG lecturer In the food section of thM- American Chemical Society, said (hat , . it's a matter of vital importance that you do eat your dally ration. "NobOdv has !vcr Keen n rllnmlne.'" said the doctor, ''but it is In certain foods. It's thnt property In food which, makes folks grow. Children couldn't grow if they didn't eat it; and adults would suffer severe nervous disorders without it. ' "The aboriginal man ate by instinct) then he ate by habit.

Casimlr Funk discovered the vitnmlnc by studying the oriental dls ease known as bcri-bcrl, a nervous sickness common among rice eating peoples. He found that tho diet of the Orientals is practically limited to what Is known as polished rice, which Is rice with the husks shredded or polished off. "He fed some of this polished rice to pigeons and learned that they de veloped berl-berl. Then ho made a solution of the husks of the rice and gave the sick pigeons a drop or two of tho solution. The symptoms of beri beri disappeared almost immediately. "Casimlr Funk then decided that what was lacking in the polished rice was present In the husks, and he called that which was lacking and so neces sary to the food, vltaminc."

To the Editor of tho Evnlno pubMc Ledger: Sir' Speaking of my recent letter in the Evening Public Ledger of "Thompson's Spa" in 1888 and 1880, a friend remarked : ., "No wonder that the Spa at that time was the resort of 'high-brow folk. Most of the employes came from Bos ton. They were clnssy beyond ..doubt. Culture wns their long suit. It was "Pahss the sugar, please." As for the eggs, they were of the dcah old Ply mouth Rock sort all the wriy from Cape Cod, and as a guarantee of .fresh ness were rubber stamped!" I remember the tall young woman who S presided over the lunch counter. She had beautiful hair and the manner of La society queen ! Yet she was gracious to all budding newspaper workers, es pecially if they would discuss music and Henry Irving. One ot tbcvtoda water clerks came from the famous . Young's Hotel, of Boston, and he soon had us eating pie for breakfast. An other soda dispenser spoke three lan guages and hid been a "super" with Mary An-'. . - and John McCullough. This wfriiH-coated chop had a cheap edition of Shakespeare under the coun- ter, nnd "between drinks" used to study Hamlet and Othello. Now. the- soda dispensers of today read race-track dope. One of the patrons then was a jovial old chap named Colonel J. E. Peyton, of Haddonfleld. The colonel's specialty was suggesting the holding of . exhibitions to commemorate big events in history. Another customer was Pro fessor Munyon, then In the publishing business. James M. Beck, then a fiery orator at Democratic mass-meetings,' often lunched at the Spa. Also John ,.--M. Campbell, who became surveyor of the port, and Major Burke, of the Buf falo Bill show. Jeff D'Angells, the comedian, often patronized the soda fountain. Another caller was' Mar shall Cushlng, of Boston, who was secretary to Henry Cabot Lodge. The Spa was often compared to the rotunda of our - old Astor House, now but a memory. There the big people of the time got together for "a bite and a sup," littlo knowing that their coming and going would be written about years after. JOHN SIcGARIGLE. New York, September 2, 1010. Plea for Old Warships To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledum. Sir News items referring to dis mantling of old battleships and probable sale for junk or use as targets cause one to wonder if better and nobler use cannot be found for these guardians of our country's honor and safety.-Vessels named after states might be turned over to them or to their citics'or com munities in a partly dismantled condi tion, to be moored in their waters, ex hibiting the naval artn; of the country, J thus fostering the love of the sea la ' "v the minds of many of those far inland th and building up our naval and mtt- tj chant marine, wmch service sadly needs : all the stimulant possible to give. -X have beard that England has '"&e,a, Scouts" in addition to, or an adJuBet.7 of. the Boy Scouts. Such organisa tions in this country could probably J ;- well served by an old warship, big or. little, anchored nearby to stir iitaglna- '"' tlon and1 pride and desire for service.
